can you see the logic behind the picture
will you learn if i just explain everything in details, state every single steps and eventually make the conclusion for you, and yourself, do you think you will remember it and last for a month?
it is definitely a "NO" for me. i can never remember the things when someone just highlight to me. i need to go through the whole process again and re-do and even derive in further detail and scrutinize the concept behind the mathematics. only by then i can remember it. my way of study may be sound tedious, but it help me to apprehend the basic understanding behind the solution.
the question is base on daily application usage and from there they design it. there is never a standard solution for everything. maybe the backbone of the solution seems the same, but the development of the whole idea and the way to solve it is totally depends on the facts and characteristics of the question itself. the hint of solution is always hidden in the question itself, the doer have to scrutinize it carefully and extract the info in specific order to answer the subsequent question.
i don't see the point the reason for the teacher to prepare everything and distribute to the learners. i don't think this method will produce an independence thinker who can acquire the analytical, rational and sensitive skill. i will never appreciate anything unless i work hard for it. by preparing everything for the them, indirectly the teacher just kill off their creativity and the potential to realize the rationale behind the solution.
i always never intend to supply the answer straight away. it is never my style. i want my apprentice to have argument with me, in this way both of the parties can learn from each other. it serve no purpose to produce that straight A's student without having personal thinking and stand. what is the different from producing "Asimo" if we just keep on feeding every single coding of command to the robot?
teacher that prepare everything = good/best teacher
teacher that prepare nothing = bad/worst teacher
nowadays the distinctive method is just as simple as ABC. the brain is becoming the extra organ in body and maybe one day will be replaced by extra boo-boo. the day for Asimo to rule the world maybe is not a science fiction anymore.
December 2, 2008 at 9:59 AM haha.. the booboo part really kills me off...
quite true...feeding asimo with codings... sounds right... haha... we should let them figure out themselves that they are robot...hoho.. jk la... anyway... i get ur point..
what i think.. some should be spoon feed first.... and den they themselves must have the initiative to experiment it or analyze it whether it is true or not the Answer given to them..... and they shouldn't always depend on the lecturer to feed them.. they should learn by themselves after they know the right direction... not just sitting there waiting for answer forever...
so sometimes.. we are like the car... we need a little push.. to move... lets move it ! move it! move it! MOVE IT!!!!!! (Madagascar) ^^
btw.. ur english sound simple in this post... ^^... is it because it is not personal? haha.. make it difficult for people to read when it is personal eh?
correct me if i'm wrong... ^^
December 2, 2008 at 6:30 PM now is already second semester, still need spoon feeding? sometimes you are not like a car, you are like horse, need people to whip you. not move it, but whip it, whip it, whip it. i have to use plain and simple english because i worried later some barbaric barbarians don't get my points.
December 2, 2008 at 11:17 PM Actually, in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) field, there is a method called as "self learning/self adaptive" where the machines or the robots from time to time able to pick up the new knowledge by themselves through some learning method. Comparing to some existing AI methods such as fuzzy logics, neural networks etc, this is the most advance method already.
So you cannot say that the robots are only consists of a pool of inference rules without learning the new things. They able to learn to! Since a "wooden" machine able to pick up new knowledge, why not our students? :P Unless our students admitting them not as smart as a "liveless" robot! @_@
